A91182	The falsities and forgeries of the anonymous author of a late pamphlet, (supposed to be printed at Oxford but in truth at London) 1644. intituled The fallacies of Mr. William Prynne, discovered and confuted, in a short view of his books intituled; The soveraignty of parliaments, The opening of the great seale. &c. Wherein the calumnies, and forgeries of this unknowne author in charging Mr. Prynne with false quotations, calumniating falshoods, wresting of the scriptures, points of popery, grosse absurdityes, meere contradictions hainous treasons & plain betraying of the cause, (not one of which is in the least degree made good by the calumniator) are succinctly answered, refuted. / By William Prynne of Lincolnes Inne, Esquire.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1644 (1644)	Wing P3953; Thomason E253_9; ESTC R210071	4,930	11

them to deposition or death This indeed is my inference which he neither doth nor can disprove since the Ancient Gaules had no other Kings but these their Reguli who might be put to death and no universall absolute Monarches as Bodine and all French Historians acknowledge Yet his greatest quarrell with me is behinde p. 4. for leaving out part of Bodines words with an c. Appendix p. 18. viz. But if the Prince be an absolute Soveraine as are the true Monarches of France c. Where the Kings themselves have the Soveraignty without all doubte or question not devided with their subjects In which c. I omitted these words of Spaine England Scotland Turkie Moscovy Tartary Persia Aethiopia India and of almost all the Kingdomes of Africk and Asia which interveene between where the Kings themselves have the soverainty and the true Monarches of France and for this omission though with an c. he cryes out thus Fye fye holy Mr. Prynne can your sanctified penne Volens vidensque wittingly and willingly abuse so perversly a learned French Lawyer and so pernitiously our gracious King of England But I pray you Sir what cause is there of such an exclamation for this omission with an c In that place of my Appendix I had nothing to doe with the Kings of England Spaine or any other Kingdomes there named by Bodine but with the Kings of France alone whom from p. 17. to 51. I prove by undeniable histories and Authorities to have been inferiour to their Kingdomes and Parliaments To recite all these other Kinges there upon this occasion whē I discoursed of the Fench kings alone had been an impertinency a Tautologie since I distinctly handled the severall jurisdictions of the Kings of Englād Spaine Scotland c. in their proper places refuted the error of Bodine though I truly cite his words that neither the Kings of Spaine nor France nor England nor Scotland are such absolute Soveraignes as he would make them The omission therefore of Spaine England and Scotland with an c. which pointed to not concealed them can no wayes be charged on me as a false quotation or as a witting or willing abuse of Bodines words as will appear by turning this accusation into arguments Master Prynne in reciting Bodines words concerning the Kings of France alone omits his mentioning of the Kings of Spaine England Scotland c. with an c. as this very Momus himselfe in his Censure omits Turkie Moscovy Tartary Persia c. rather to be ranked among absolute Tyrants than Kings Ergo he hath falsly quoted and wilfully perverted Bodine Master Prynne recites and refutes Bodines opinion of the absolute Soveraignty of those Kings in the objected and other places Ergo he misrecites Bodine If these be not most absurd Arguments and calumniating falshoods let the world judge In fine Mr. Prynne hath * frequently quoted Bodine and this very Chapter of his in sundry pages of his Bookes but misquoted him in no place whatsoever Ergo this Botcher hath misquoted misreported Mr. Prynne and must cry peccavi for it And for his odious subinference p. 4. it is his owne alone not mine This Champion having thus manfully played the slanderer in this one Quotation which he in vaine labours to prove false would willingly proceed to others p. 7. but he there ingeniously confesseth he wants his tooles to doe his worke and I have not quoth he the bookes cited by him Certainely if he wants his Books and the Books I cite to examine my quotations by it must needs be an impudent apparent slander in him to tax me of misquotations of those Authors he confesseth he never saw nor read the rather because he writes in the same page that my Quotation out of Speed seemeth somwhat amisse yet presently confesseth of himself in the same page I never saw it nor heard it till I read it in Mr. Prynnes Book and that he never read Mr. Speed How dares he then terme it a seeming Misquotation Is this man thinke you likely to refute or convince me of false Quotations who thus confesseth that he neither hath nor hath read nor heard of the Books and Passages which I cite * Si judicas cognosce was the Ancient rule I pray therefore get and read my quoted Authors hereafter before you presume to charge me with misquotations else all must censure you for the grossest slanderer that ever put pen to paper For the pretended Falshoods Paradoxes Absurdities and Absurd opinions he would fasten on me p. 8. to 14. they are most of them his owne misrecitals not my assertions and so farre as any of them are really mine my Pages whence they are transcribed will sufficiently manifest them to be neither Falshods Paradoxes Absurdities nor absurd opinions The Popery he would asperse me with page 14. 15. is easily wiped of For first both the text and Comment of Roomes-master peece is neither a Fiction nor pia fraus unlesse he will make it so in the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury Sir William Boswell Habernfield and the King himselfe under whose hands it is extant and hath been represented to the Parliament If this suffice not the Preface to the second Edition of Roomes-master peece will either satisfie or silence this Father of falshoods Secondly the visions and Revelations of King Edward the Confessor cited in my Remonstrance against Shipmoney p. 22. of one of the Monks of Clervaulx Opening of the great Seale p 5. 6. are not recited by Mr. Prynne as reall verityes or convincing argumēts against Shipmoney Lordly Bishops but onely de bene esse to manifest what opinion the Monks and Historians who record them had of Danegeld and Prelacy And Mr. Prynnes other Arguments Authorityes against Shipmony cited in that Remonstrance and against Lordly Prelates and Prelacy registred in his Vnbishoping of Timothy and Titus his Breviate Catalogue of Authours of all ages and Antypathy of the English Lordly Prelacy to Vnity and Monarchy are so sollid and Copious that no man hath hitherto attempted to returne the least answer to them nor indeed can doe it so that he needed not the helpe of Visions Revelations or popish pious Frauds to satisfy or delude his Readers in these points debated by him For the other pretended points of Popery perverting of the Scripture of Lawes Treasons and betraying of the Cause they are so abundantly answered refuted in my Books at large in the pages quoted by this Authour that I shall wholly appeale to them the indifferent perusers of them both for my Purgation and Justification in all particulars which books having both the speciall licenced good Approbation of the high Court of Parliament and of thousands of all sorts both at home and beyond the Seas who have highly approved them and recieved good satisfaction by them in the present unhappy controverted differences that distract us need no further Apology against this Namelesse Slanderer and Depraver to whom I onely wish more verity honesty ingenuity for the future then he hath here discovered for the present FINIS Mr. Pryn.
